Ian Bremmer shares his insights on global politics this week on World In :60.
Will Putin's rare visit to North Korea strengthen anti-West alignment?
It's deepening the relationship. There's no question. He hasn't been in North Korea in decades. And I mean they call it the Hermit Kingdom. It's completely totalitarian. It's incredibly poor. But they have a massive military and they've been providing an awful lot thousands and thousands of train containers, of weaponry, of ammunition, of artillery. And those containers haven't gone back empty from Russia. And there's been a lot of sense of technology that's been transferred. The interesting thing will be whether or not, this leads to more provocative North Korean behavior vis-à-vis the South and Japan, because they think they can get away with it because they have coverage from Russia. And will they start coordinating diplomatically, in response to the NATO threat, in response to, you know, the way that the war in Ukraine is going? Be interesting to watch. It's not what China wants to see, but that is certainly a piece of what happens when a couple of states considered pariahs and rogues by the West, are developing a real alliance.
Is escalation of war between Israel and Hezbollah inevitable?
Nothing's inevitable. It's looking more likely by the day. I've been very concerned about this second front. I didn't think it was going to open up in the early months because Israel is a small country and they've got a lot of people, a lot of forces that are fighting on the ground in Gaza. But as the war in Gaza, I don't want to say wraps up because I don't think that's going to happen, but at least winds down and becomes less about taking and controlling and rooting out Hamas in across all of the territory, and is less military intensive in terms of troops, then the Israelis can move a lot of those troops up to the north. And I think that is increasingly likely in part, because you have 100,000 Israelis that are evacuated still. And the Israeli leaders say a lot, you know, they got to get them back for the school year. That's September. It's coming up soon. And secondly, because Hezbollah is increasingly engaging in strikes against Israel and most recently, really invasive surveillance drone, you know, intervention, including the port of Haifa. So it's really showing off to the Israelis that we're going to hit you hard. We're going to make this really hurt. They're a hell of a lot more powerful militarily Hezbollah is than Hamas. So if this happens, it's going to be a lot bigger deal in terms of the impact and the casualties.
Will President Biden's new citizenship plan bolster his campaign?
I guess a little bit in the sense that it's an issue that is top two for most voters, inflation and the migration issue. And, you know, he has been taking a harder line on number of migrants coming in. So now he's offering the spouses that don't have citizenship, but their spouses do, you know, are going to have improved treatment. That's a give, especially in a lot of states, where you have lots of those people, and states that he needs those votes. Every vote matters. Is it really gonna help his campaign at the end of the day? This is a tough one. On balance, I think that, Trump does better on this issue in the same way Biden does on abortion.

Netanyahu has made it really hard to root for Israel.
I like how the timer corrects itself from 60 to 180
Curious as to how much materiel being traded between Russia and North Korea was manufactured in China.
Nowadays China is the big nanny of both USA and Russia.

You too!
Ian, if one ever picked a job where things never get boring, geopolitics is something people should look into if they want to stay on top of the world game of checkers-politics that has us all watching who is hopping when and whom is getting bumped off the checker board! You are an inspiration for young people who are thirsty for knowledge and looking for a job where there is a future. What I know is that I have no qualifications so my statement will certainly go by the way of the bathroom window, but here goes: Kim Jung Un and President Putin have cemented their relationship and unsuprisingly Kim Jung Un has backed Putin to the hilt in his war against Ukraine. Why not appeal to these two kings of things in their lands and ask them to walk in our moccasins for a fortnight? What do I mean by that? Putin and Kim Jung Un do not seem to realize that the west is no longer looking back on Empire's lost and wanting to restore them, simply because we aren't going that way. In brief, we in the west have to look Putin in the eye and explain that we would like to help him out, but our backs against the wall in Ukraine, because our existential crisis is that all we believe in i.e., a sovereign country cannot be violated or annexed or invaded without severe consequences---can never be cast aside.
he's such a tool
My understanding is that the military hardware that North Korea is providing is of "poor quality". With Putin having to rely on North Korea for military hardware, doesn't it suggest he in a "desparate" situation?

The anti-West alignment couldn't get any stronger.
Clear to say it is anti-hegemony alignment. It became not only stronger, but also bigger and larger.
After half a million Ukrainians dead.
Putin: "Hey guys, I am ready to stop now."
Zelensky: "I am not done collecting checks"
